| New puppy by the end of the year?!? So I was talking to my mom and she mentioned something about if i keep my job then maybe I could get the girl yorkie ive been wanting....but first she said and get rid of ozzy. I said no I cant get rid of him, and I said why not just have 2 yorkies? She said I dont know...I said you gave sam til the end of the year to move out, what if by then I get everything together with ozzy and then maybe get my second yorkie, a baby girl and have them both....and she said as long as i take care of them then maybe by january i can get one!(: |

| I don't understand why your mom would tell you to get rid of Ozzy before getting a new puppy. As long as Ozzy is fixed they could be great together. I am glad your mom agreed. I could not give up on my female yorkie in order to get a new one to me that makes very little sense.

| i think she just didnt like the fact of her, my dad, my sis, her 2 kids, my youngest nephews dad, and me and ozzy and another dog all in a 4 bedroom house. lol. But my nephews dad will be moving out in less then a month. and my sister and youngest nephew will probably be out by the end of the year....so hopefully right now i can find a good breeder and start looking and find on within a cheaper price range!(: |

| I have read a couple of your threads and I'm seeing that you and your family simply dispose of dogs for various reasons. I'm certain that if you get that female dog you want because "I just wanna spoil her!she would have so many pretty dresses and bow and harnesses and leashes because everything i see and everywhere i go everything is pink and girly and adorable!" then you'll probably get rid of Ozzy just like the rest of them. So my suggestion to you is just dress Ozzy up in drag! He could be that cute girl you always wanted! I personally will purchase pretty dresses, bows, harnesses and leashes and send them to you. I'm serious.

Owned by Bella & Tibbs Donating Member | That would be so mean just to get rid of your boy to get a girl to play dress up. A puppy is a life choice not just all fun. It's a responsibility I agree if you want to play dress up drag your boy out don't just trade him in.

| You have to be kidding if you would even think of getting rid of one dog to get another. Believe there should be no dogs in your household. |

| Please don't give up Ozzy. He has feelings, too, and he's not a throwaway or disposable little guy. He loves his family and I wouldn't get another dog until I could commit to the one I already have. Just my personal opinion for what it's worth.

| Are you sure that as a student you can afford to take care of a second yorkie? Yorkies cost money to take care of properly. Their little bodies need a healthy diet (not some cheapo food like Kibbles 'N Bits). They need regular veterinary care which includes annual exams, vaccinations, blood work, dental cleanings, heartworm preventative, flea/tick preventative - and that's all just routine maintentance care that runs several hundred dollars a year per pup. It doesn't begin to cover the cost of a sick or injured pet, or the spay/neuter a new pup will need. Once you make the commitment to adopt a pet it becomes YOUR responsibility for the rest of it's life. They are living creatures who deserve the very best care and lots of love, which does not include getting rid of them because they get sick or because you want to get another puppy. I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but real pet ownership is hard, time consuming and expensive - when it's done right. If you aren't going to do it right, don't do it. Here's a few threads for you to read over while you decide if you really are ready to add that little girl to your family. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/pup...kie-puppy.html http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/pup...uy-yorkie.html http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/pup...w-parents.html

| What is next? Are you going to tell us that you will be breeding both of them?

| Ozzy is not an old pair of shoes that you don't want anymore. Just because you want a new dog, you don't get rid of the dog that you already have. I realize that you are a kid, but you should not have a pet until you are mature enough and financially responsible enough to properly care for one. |

I think wanting to add to your pack is a good long term goal to have. However, think it through. If you can be financially independently taking care of both dogs, without asking mom or dad for money, then do it. It's my long term goal too. By this time next year, I want to be in a place where I can financially and physically be in a place where I can have 2. I want 2 little boys running around my house, playing and making me laugh.

I think that the best for Ozzy and you is for you to purchase pet health insurance. Then look for a steady source of part time income; babysitting, working as a cashier etc. Two dogs are a large responsibility. How will you care for them when you go off to university for example? I know that you have not been shown the best example of pet ownership, but pets are a lifetime responsibility. This is something you willingly take on prior to owning a dog. Focus on Ozzy right now; if you want to dress him up there are lots of ways to do so. There are pretty nifty boy clothes; and if you are set on the girley girl stuff, just dress him up in those clothes. Most of the time my Razz is referred to as a she anyhow. IDC he is just one gorgeous dog. In terms of finding a "cheap" Yorkie there is no such thing. Just read the sick and emergency section ... this will open your eyes to their health concerns, the cost of same; and I'm not just talking in $$ but the emotional toil to see your beloved dog unwell.

| I too dont understand why you would have to get rid of one dog for another. And yes yorkies are VERY expensive to "keep up"..Trust me I know..Please listen to the wonderful advice others have given before making your decision..
